EW.com just exclusively announced Twilight: The Graphic Novel, Vol. 1!
I’m delighted to announce, exclusively, that Yen Press will publish Twilight: The Graphic Novel, Vol. 1 on March 16, with a first printing of 350,000 copies. Here’s a first glimpse at the book’s cover, as well as an exclusive peek at one of its panels (for a full ten-page excerpt, and the entire Q&A with Stephenie Meyer, see the issue of EW that goes on sale this Friday). –EW.com
Stephenie Meyer also talked about her involvement in the graphic novel:
I was definitely involved. I didn’t do the original “script” for the book, so to speak. But when I got the dialogue with the images, I did a lot of tinkering. In a couple of places, I asked for missing scenes to be inserted. For example, the conversation in the car that Bella and Edward have after she faints in Biology.
Stephenie also talked about the possibility of more Twilight books:
I can’t say that I am done with Twilight forever. I’m not working on anything new Twilight-related now, and probably not for a while. But there’s still a possibility that I’ll go back and close some of the open doors.
Check out the whole announcement HERE and be sure to pick up this week’s edition of Entertainment Weekly.
Huh.
ReplyDeleteIsn't this kind of a step back? Wouldn't it have made more sense to do a graphic novel and *then* a movie? I just don't really see the point.
Wow, beautiful cover. Thank you so much for sharing the news!!!
ReplyDeleteThis one looks so beautiful <3 I kinda like it more than the movie. T4p <3
ReplyDeleteJust by that preview I'm thinking I might like the graphic novel better than the movie.
ReplyDeleteWonder if it will be more like the book or the film...
ReplyDeleteHumm.. for some reason the graphic novel is not grabbing me.
ReplyDeleteOkay, I am a graphic novel geek so I am so excited to see this. Seriously, I have a goofy grin on my face. Dammit, I thought I was over Twilight! ;o)
ReplyDeleteDanielle87-I have no idea. Maybe Stephenie was reluctant to adapt it?
ReplyDeleteEmma- I'm kinda digging the cover myself :)
IanIan-More than the movie? More than Robert Pattinson? Say it ain't so :)
Robsad79-I think we can find room to love all forms of Twilight
Amberkatze- Hopefully it will be the best of both. I'm very glad that Stephenie had the final say on the writing.
Sweet Vernal Zephyr-I know. I don't normally get excited about graphic novels (I tried to read the Buffy season 8 comics and just could not get into the medium). Although, I might have to give this one a go.
Tiah-I don't think I'll every be over Twilight. Did you notice this is only volume 1? Should be lots more to come.
